Looking Back and Looking Forward

LOOKING BACK

In 2014 I began a series of bookplate artists checklists . Of all the articles I've written this year they give me the most satisfaction . Few if any of the checklists are complete so these projects with your help and input are ongoing .

Looking Forward

The California Bookplate Project

I probably bit off more than I can chew with this project but with your help I will keep on trucking.These are a few of the bookplate designers I plan to write about in 2015 Some of the artists worked in several locations throughout their careers but many collectors think of them as Californians..
